Beach Chalet Lighting meeting -- send in your comments.

The Recreation and Park Department held a meeting on Nov. 3rd to discuss the impact of the 150,000 watts of stadium
lighting at the Beach Chalet fields in Golden Gate Park. Many of you attended; the majority of comments were NOT favorable
to this project, and ranged from taking out the fields and lights completely to suggestions for modifying the project.

It is unclear what action the City will actually take, or it this was a "feel good" effort to mollify the voters
without taking any meaningful action.

But your opinion still counts. Even if you could not attend, you should still make your feelings known. If you do
not weigh in, then the City government will say that no one cares any more about Golden Gate Park or the environment in the
western part of San Francisco. This could leave the park open to further development.

Therefore, please write a short note to Rec and Park and to the current and future members of the Board of Supervisors.
Tell them that the project never should have been built and that the stadium lights and turf destroy the habitat and naturalistic
beauty of the western end of Golden Gate Park. Turning off the lights an hour or two early a few times a week is not going
to change that. If you need more information on the negative impacts of artificial light on both people and wildlife caused
by this project, please review Professor Longcore's paper. http://www.slideshare.net/SFOceanEdge/impact-of-artificial-lighting-on-golden-gate-park-ocean-beach
